Real Estate

A sweet peppering of indie nonchalance that ebbs and flows just like the 'Water Underground' evoked in the titular track - This is the sort of record that'll stir you from lethargy into action, like winter thawing into spring.

In 11 compulsively tuneful songs, they connect the uninhibited wonder of their earliest work with the earned perspective of adulthood. Several days into recording, all five members of Real Estate were discussing album titles when someone suggested “Daniel,” simply because it seemed funny to bestow a human name upon a record. Was it for Daniel Tashian? Maybe. Was it a nod to The Replacements’ 'Tim'? Possibly. Was it the sign of a band that has now been around long enough to take its music seriously without taking itself or its perception too seriously? Absolutely.
